Michigan begins to be classed among
the doubtful states" In 1881 the Re-
publicans carried the state by plurality
of SO 900 over the Democrats. At the re-
cent election the total Republican vote
was less than 5000 greater than the Dem
cratic vote, and the Democrats did not
have the organized support of the Green
hackers. Michigan may yet be placed in
the column of Democratic states.

Those who wish to see piece OF

has tended it most carefully, and had
it in fine condition to receive the glori-
Gus rains of the past week. A business
man who cultivates his garden with as
much care as does Mr. Deller cannot
observe the eight hour rule. Mr..
Deller very much prefers good gar
den to the eight hour foolishness.

Never, perhaps, IN the history of
Mineral Point was a shower of rain so
earnestly hoped for as The copious one
which fell on last Saturday afternoon.
Almost every green thing had begun
to show the effects of the great drouth.
Pastures were almost bare, and drying
up, and vegetation of all kinds was
shriveling up under the strong rays of
the sun; and present conditions coupled
with the experience of drouth last
year had most depressing effect upon
the spirits of even the most sanguine.
When the clouds began to come up
from the west only those of very
hopeful turn of mind had faith to be-
lieve that we were really going to have
a shower; but the shower came at last,
and it was a real old-fashioned shower
at that, with fair allowance of thun-
der and lightning. Farmers and all
others wore cheerful countenanceS
after the rain fell.
The Platteville WitnesS:-It was
our pleasure to attend the exercises of
the Mineral Point high school, on Fri
day June 10th. in the Opera House,
Many went away who could not even
find standing room. The graduating
class from Darlington were present,
and some from DodgeviIIe and sur
rounding neighborhoods. The decora-
tions were beautiful. The ladies were
all attired in elegant white costumes
Hastily made and exceedingly becoming.
Mineral Point may well be proud of
the whole class. Their class motto.
"Out of the Bay into the Ocean" was
very appropriate. The picture in the
background of the stage, of the ship
sailing into the ocean, with the class
in the middle ground made very
pretty scene indeed. The music by
the band as well as that by individuals
was good. In fact the exercises were
unusually good and gave general sat
isfaction to all who were 50 fortunate
as to hear them.
